A recent Pew Research Center survey, conducted from August 24-30, found that six in ten American adults born after 2001 first learned about the September 11, 2001, terror attacks through schoolwork or in class. This demographic, aged 18-24, constitutes 10% of American adults. Only 16% of this group learned about 9/11 from relatives or friends, while 8% learned independently through media.
